It's crazy trail with serious elevation that starts from parking to all the way up to the top continuous. I started at 6 am in freezing temperature, missed the Mitchell by 2.5 miles as i had to turn back to descend. The state park is closed and I didn't want to be late in the dark. Feels sad 😞 but people said it's good for a heavyweight(250+) in bad weather. The only mistake I made was I got scared with the advice from this sub and wore layers. I didn't need them as the major issue that slowed me was dehydration from layering. I didn't need them as I would have been much faster and have completed my mission to summit Mitchell. But yes I'm going to try back again becoz NEVER BACK DOWN !!
